    "content": "Mr. Speaker,. Sir, the hon. Member is talking about the Naivasha-Nakuru- Lanet Road. That is not part of the Northern Corridor Road which goes to Timboroa-Eldoret- Malaba. That is in a different programme and contracts have been awarded. The Mau Summit- Kericho-Kisumu Road is considered a highway. It is not part of the Northern Corridor. We are seeking separate funds from the World Bank for this road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not in a position to give an answer as to when the negotiations with the World Bank will end. However, I want to confirm that we have already approached the World Bank and negotiations are going on. In fact, we have already appointed a consultant and we have paid over Kshs18 million for consultancy on works on that road. We are aware that, that road was done to complete pavement in 1970. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all that has been going on are minor repairs, which we can no longer rely on. That is why we have approached the World Bank for a complete overhaul of the road."
